Five good reasons to get in touch with your sole.
Fivefingers, the newest must have shoes for fitness and sports, including water sports through to yoga. This new generation of sports shoe, which provides all the benefits of going barefoot but with a non slip, protective grip can be considered a training device because they force your body to adapt to a new style of footwear. That, in turn, stimulates the muscle in your feet and lower legs to build strength and improve range of motion, plus, getting great grip on any surface.
Developed by the makers of some of the world’s best walking boots and shoes Vibram launched the Fivefingers footwear technology in the UK after the success of their sales in America.
In addition to being effective technical sports shoes, Fivefingers are also designed to help correct the damage that modern day footwear has put on our bodies.
Humans did not evolve wearing shoes; our posture, muscle alignment and running techniques have all changed because of this. Conditions such as shin splints and bunions are brought on as a result of the foot’s manipulation and incorrect running technique which can be caused by wearing traditional running shoes. So by wearing Fivefingers the sensation and muscle alignment is that of going barefoot and therefore performance and health is greater.
Fivefingers UK have had great feedback from outdoor sport enthusiasts along with runners, water sports fans and people who wear Fivefingers for Yoga, martial arts and Pilates, which makes them the perfect gift for anyone interested in sports.
The revolutionary product was named one of Time Magazines ‘Best Inventions of 2007’ and would be a welcome addition to essential sports kit. A foot loose and fancy free way to develop a soul-to-sole connection with any sport.
